Custer Gl Reports Slugging, Robbery Man Cut and Bruised Appears At Fisk Home in Leroy The sheriff's department and military police are investigating a slugging and robbery report made by a Fort Custer soldier.

Sergt. Lewis Hendrick of the Fort Custer separation center appeared at the Leroy township home of Supervisor Ernest Fisk early yesterday morning, bleeding and dazed from a beating he said was inflicted by four other soldiers. Mr. Fisk called sheriff's officers and Hendrick was taken to Percy Jones Army hospital for treatment of cuts and bruises on his head and face. He said he had met four other soldiers in a Battle Creek restaurant Monday evening, and went with them to Kalamazoo.

After leaving Kalamazoo, the four apparently beat him and left him beside the road near the Fisk home. He said he couldn't remember what happened ed after they left Kalama200.

A quiet dinner at the home of Mrs.

Custer Soldier Admits Slaying Korean Veteran Tells of 1948, Galesburg, Murder. A Purple Heart veteran of the Korean war calmly confessed to Fort Custer and civilian authorities today that he had taken part in a hold-up murder Galesburg, four years ago.

The soldier was identified as Pic. Gus Monzo, 26, formerly of Galesburg and now a member of 'B' Battery, 698th Anti-Aircraft Artillery Battalion Fort Custer. Confession Relieves Mind The slender, sun-bronzed GI expressed relief to at last reveal the secret that he had carried with him for four years and which he said had preyed on his mind as he fought with the 7th Infantry Division in Korea. Monzo's confession came after he was implicated by Paul Hopping, 21 year old Galesburg laborer, whose conscience led him to go to the Galesburg police last Saturday night and confess that he fired the shot that killed Jesse Rickards, about 50, during a street robbery attempt June 5, 1948. Hopping named Monzo as his companion and Galesburg authorities traced Monzo to the army.

Arrested While on Guard Duty Hopping was brought to Fort Custer yesterday to identify Monzo, who was taken into custody by the provost marshal at 11:30 last night while he was on guard duty. With Hopping were William Small, assistant state's attorney at Galesburg, William Abernathie of the Illinois polygraph bureau Springfield, and Deputy Sheriff Max E. Jones. Military and Galesburg authorities questioned Monzo last night and this morning when he calmly confessed that he was with Hopping when he shot Rickards in the back of the head when he tried to run. This morning Monzo told an Enquirer and News reporter: told Hopping not to shoot, but he did.

I should have gone to the police at the time." Strangers Before Killing The slender, swarthy Monzo said he had not known Hopping before the night of the killing. He said they had met in a Galesburg tavern and when they ran out of money decided to commit a robbery with a gun Hopping had in his pocket. The two men said they accosted Rickards on the street. Hopping knocked the elderly man down with his fist. Rickards rose and started to run and Hopping drew his .32 caliber revolver and fired once, killing the man instantly.

Monzo, who was working in railroad storeroom at the time, was drafted in 1950. He returned to the states last March 28 after serving a year with the 7th Division. He was wounded in the leg. Monzo was turned over to the Galesburg officials who planned to return him and Hopping to Springfield, early this afternoon. Court Takes Custody Of Abandoned Infant Judge Urges Use of Facilities For Unwed Mothers.

A petition requesting that the abandoned infant daughter of Miss Cecile Showalter, 24-year-old school teacher who is held on a child abandonment charge, be placed under the protective custody of the juvenile division of the probate court was accepted by Probate Judge Edmund R. Blaske at Marshall Tuesday. In accepting the custody of the child, Judge Blaske pointed out that both the probate court and the Michigan Children's Aid society have the staff and facilities to aid expectant unwed mothers in meeting their problems. "Both the court and the Michigan Children's Aid society can provide care for these expectant mothers 80 they can have their babies without any publicity or notoriety," Judge Blaske said. "If unmarried women who find themselves pregnant will contact either the court or the Michigan Children's Aid Society, they will receive confidential and sympathetic assistance.

Situations such as we face in the case of Miss Showalter can be avoided. "If the mothers do not desire to keep their babies after they are born, we can place them with worthy families listed with the court," Judge Blaske added. Miss Showalter placed her baby in the trunk of an automobile beside her rooming house in Marshall after giving birth to the child on the porch of the rooming house last week. The child was discovered 14 hours later by police called to investigate its cries. Augusta Man Hurt In Buzz-Saw Fall AUGUSTA-L.

Township Asks Sewer Hearing Supervisor DeMaso Wants To 'Talk It Over' at Lansing. Battle Creek township officials have requested another conference with the state water resources commission in Lansing to discuss the township sewage pollution difficulties before the state commission resorts to court action to compel a clean-up.

Milton P. Adams, secretary of the state commission, said today that Harry DeMaso, the township's new supervisor, telephoned him and requested a further discussion of pollution problem which led the water resources commission last week to direct its legal counsel to draft a bill of complaint for presentation to the Calhoun county circuit. court. Meet July 17 Mr. Adams said he has arranged for Mr.

DeMaso and the township attorney, James J. Dunn, to meet in Lansing at 11 a. m. Thursday, July 17, with Nicholas V. Olds, an assistant attorney general and legal counsel for the water resources commission, to consider any additional information which township officials may wish to present.

Mr. DeMaso said he requested the meeting so he can explain "where we stand." "We don't know if they realize that a proposal to annex the Lakeview area to the city of Battle Creek is coming up, and we don't know if they still believe the township is responsible for the pollution since Springfield has voted to incorporate as a city," Mr. DeMaso said. The offending sewers, which empty into Kalamazoo river, are in the Springfield Place area of the township. "We want to see if something can be ironed out and we want to determine what can be done and what they suggest," Mr.

DeMaso added. Even if the meeting is unproductive, Mr. Adams said that because of the pressure of other legal work it would probably be "a couple of months" before Olds could plete the bill of complaint detailing the state's specific grievances against the township for failure to control sewage-caused pollution of the Kalamazoo river.

WASHINGTON (P) A senate investigations subcommittee posed today a tough new law to punish influence peddlers, those who hire them and their go-betweens. Chairman Hoey N.C.), in senate speech, offered a bill titled "an act to safeguard the operations of government agencies from certain pernicious influences." It had the unanimous backing of his seven subcommittee whose investigations, Hoey said, uncovered proof of corrupt influence peddling but found the law too weak to alize all those involved. Hoey said he does not expect action on the bill this session, which congress is hurrying to end before the national political conventions this month. He said he introduced the measure so members could study it before next session, when he will press for passage. Under the bill, all involved in any influence deal would face penalties up to two years in prison and $5,000 fine plus civil penalties three times the value of the property or service involved.

It would invite informers to tip off influence deals, and post rewards equal to 10 percent of the amount collected in the triple-damage penalty. Hoey and other subcommittee members repeatedly have criticized the present law. They say it provides prison penalties for a government official who takes a bribe in an influence deal, but lets off scotfree any who hire influence peddlers unless a conspiracy can be proved. The subcommittee contends that many times there is ample evidence of improprieties which stop just short of a probable conspiracy. -Enquirer Photo NAVAL RESERVE COMMAND Oliver O.

Chicago Is Goal Of Michigan GOP State Officers to Leave Lansing for Convention.

Special to the Enquirer and News From Its State Bureau. LANSING- -Better not plan on going to the state capitol next week' if it's any of the Republican state officers you want to see. Most of them will be in Chicago attending their party's national convention. Democratic Governor Williams will be out of Lansing during the week, however. His trip to Chicago comes two weeks later, the Democratic national convention opens July 21.

Neither Lieutenant Gov. William C. Vandenberg nor Dr. Lee M. superintendent of public instruction, plan to attend the Chicago convention next week.

While the Taft and Eisenhower forces wage their presidential nomination battle, Vandenberg will be on the campaign trail in Michigan, advancing his own candidacy for the Republican nomination for governor. Thurston will be at Higgins Lake, July 5 to 9, playing host to the National Conference of Chief State School Officers. To Join Veterans Attorney General Frank G. Millard and his deputy, Arthur T. Iverson, will leave for Chicago Thursday or Friday.

Millard wants to reach the convention city early to attend a national meeting of Republican War Veterans this weekend. The attorney general is secretary of the Michigan chapter of the Republican War Veterans organization. Planning to reach Chicago Saturday or Sunday are Secretary of State Fred M. Alger, Auditor General John B. Martin, State Treasurer D.

Hale Brake and Highway Commissioner Charles M. Ziegler. With them will be George M. Foster, chief deputy state highway commissioner: Charles Creedon of assistant secretary of state: and Leigh H. Thomas, municipal finance commission staff consultant.

Enough other Michigan Republicans expect to be in Chicago next week to make a good -sized cheering section for whomever the convention picks as its presidential standardbearer. National Committeeman Arthur E. Summerfield, of Flint, reports his office has handled convention reservation requests for 800 persons. That includes the 46 delegates, an equal number of alternates, their wives, and nearly 600 other party members lured to Chicago by the Eisenhower-Taft struggle. Governor Williams, lone Democrat in state's official family, will find the absence of his Republican colleagues no hindrance to his own campaign for reelection.

Between occasional working sessions at his office in the capitol, he has visits planned at Howell, Detroit, Selfridge Field, Traverse City, Petoskey and Chesaning. Briton Charged With Baring State Secrets LONDON- (P) -William Martin Marshall, 24-year-old foreign office radio operator, pleaded innocent today to charges of slipping state secrets to a Russian diplomat. His trial was set for next Wednesday, July 9. The tall. sallow-faced youth entered his plea at a brief hearing in don's Old Bailey.

It was centrals criminal court -Lonthere in March, 1950. that atomic scientist Klaus Fuchs was sentenced to 14 years imprisonment for betraying U. S. and British bomb secrets to the Russians. Marshall was accused on five counts.

Three charged him with giving information "useful to an enemy" about the British diplomatic wireless service to Pavel Kuznetsov, second secretary of the Soviet embassy in London. The fourth count accused him of obtaining such information and the fifth of recording similar state secrets. Marshall was in the dock only four minutes. The accused youth formerly served as a diplomatic radio operator in the British embassy in Moscow. Since the start of the year he has been working at the British foreign office radio station at Hanslope park, a about 40 miles from London.

Marshall was arrested June 13 in company with Kuznetsov. The Soviet diplomat was released on grounds of diplomatic immunity. Free to move about London, he is reported still carrying out his duties at the Russian embassy. At a previous hearing a government prosecutor charged that the young radio operator, when arrested, was carrying information which could have been useful to an enemy and which he had no authority to have. Village Barn Players Give Excellent Version of 'Rain' Sadie Thompson's hectic experiences on volcanic Pago Pago have become familiar to thousands.

through the media of W. Somerset Maugham's novel, the two Broadway versions and two screen presentations-to say nothing of a brief musical that starred June Havoc. And now "Rain" comes to The pa Barn in a drama we that features Alicia Krug, a way actress, and Howard Chenery of Kalamazoo, an experienced and thoroughly capable actor. Its opening Tuesday evening drew a large attendance and enthusiastic curtain-calls. was not without some imperfections- -loss of lines, slowing of action and at one point in the last act an embarrassing most ment of confusion.

However, the play was well done and the stage setting was amazingly realistic. Rain fell through the most of the performance, but it was heard and not seen. Star from Broadway Chief interest for many lay in the appearance of Miss Krug as Sadie Thompson. She is not another Jeanne Eagles nor another Tallulah Bankhead, but she has what it takes to attract notice even on Broadway and it will be surprising if her star does not continue its ascendancy. She is both attractive and efficient.

In "Rain" she runs the gamut of emotions from the exotic fugitive from Honolulu's red light district to the beaten and mentally shattered victim of the Rev. Alfred Davidson's evangelism. As the fanatical Davidson, Howard Chenery is perfection itself, as he has been in other Kalamazoo Village Players' productions. Even those unfamiliar with the story could quickly, sense that what is in his what is on his lips are two different matters. Mr.

Chenery, veteran that he is, does not resort to heroics but plays the hole with naturalness and reasonable severity. A gem of a performance is given by Jean Henderson, formerly of Kalamazoo but now of Flint, as Mrs. Davidson, the tortured wife of the domineering missionary. She looks the part and acts it with vocal and facial expression that makes her work outstanding. Capanna Is Excellent Another excellent characterization is that of Mike Capanna, of cinematic and T-V experience in California, as Sergeant ant O'Hara, who sincerely loves Sadie Thompson, with full knowledge of her past.

Capanna is tall and handsome and has an understanding of stagecraft. Margaret Ann Curran, returning after a year's absence, does a remarkable job as Ameena, native wife of Joe Horn, the dissolute trader. Her makeup is superb and her acting convincing, though the role is not an attractive re one. As her unshaven and indifferent white husband, Leon B. Stevens is well cast.

Another well known player, Milt Hamerman, is efficient as Dr. McPhail and William Flatley has some very good moments as Quartermaster Bates. Irene Ryan, one of the 1952 apprentices, is somewhat colorless McPhail. John McAlphine and Louis Cutelli are very good as two Marines. The Village Players' version of the Maugham story is well worth seeing.

It is not a play for young children to see, no more than is "Season in the Sun," which will be next week's offering, with Betty Ebert in the leading feminine role. And even for some adults neither play may have an appeal, but for those who like to consider themselves broad-minded each play promises a highly satisfactory evening. direction of "Rain" was in Howard Chenery's as associate of Jack Ragotzy, who appeared before curtains Tuesday evening long enough to make a few announcements and was welwith appiause by his old friends B.

'No Reprisal' Promise Ends Rioting in Prison CONCORD, (P) -Thirtyfour tough prisoners, armed with knives, wrenches and table legs, rioted at Concord state reformatory for three hours yesterday while holding four employes as hostages. But they surrendered meekly after getting a guarantee of no reprisal from State Commissioner of Correction Maxwell B.

Grossman. The instructors and guards were released unharmed before the prisoners filed out of the barricaded store house. In one of the worst riots in the 67-year history of the institution, the rioters wrecked the detention pen, two-story structure in the east wing of the reformatory. Two of the hostages said the prisoners caused "thousands of dollars damage" to the detention quarters. They tore furniture apart, improvised clubs from the legs of tables, ripped out a 14-foot section of lockers and flooded the floor with water.

They used the wreckage to barricade themselves. Immediately after the surrender of the prisoners, Grossman began discussing grievances with representatives the inmates who complained of food and "cruel treatment" by guards.

Every address in this city of 000 was changed. City officials described it as the biggest single job of unifying and clarifying street names ever undertaken anywhere.

One of them, City Commission Chairman Clyde Tingley, wasn't at all pleased. Tingley, a one-time New Mexico governor, exploded: "It's the most disgraceful damn thing that's ever happened to this city. Let me tell you, son! A house could burn down while fire department is looking at the map to find out where it is." Other officials said there was good reason for the change. Albuquerque, you see, has grown from a population of 35,449 in 1940 to an estimated 120,000 plus. All this caused a lot of subdivision and hit-or-miss street naming.

Result: Confusion to a stranger starting to find his way around. So the city's planning commission changed names here, eliminated names there, divided Albuquerque into four quarters. the address was 824 Madison street. Now its 824 Madison, NE. The same thing happened in the other quadrants NW, SE, SW affixed to street names.
